Grant one user full control over another user’s account in a custom plugin

I’m writing a NodeBB plugin and need to let User A inherit all of User B’s permissions, including:

• Creating topics and replies on their behalf

• Changing their password

• Chatting as them

• Editing or deleting their existing posts

In other words, I want two linked accounts so that logging in as User A gives full control over User B’s account. What’s the best way to implement this in my plugin?

I tried going through all the permission hooks but didn’t find anything suitable.

Appreciate any help—thanks!

I’m stuck halfway through creating a NodeBB plugin and could really use your expertise. I’m on a tight deadline and it’s quite urgent—would you be able to lend me a hand?

Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

AMAARETS I think all you really need to do is have your plugin change req.session.uid and req.uid to the target uid.

Although in practice there might be some cases I did not consider.
